How are international transcripts evaluated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As an international student, you must have met (or will meet) the requirements to graduate from secondary school\/high school in your native country. This diploma must be considered equivalent to a United States high school diploma. The list of credentials that are considered equivalent to the U.S. diploma can be found below. <\/strong>Note that some credentials like the IB or A levels may be considered for advanced standing\/transfer credit.<\/em><\/p>\n

If your transcripts, diploma, or any other academic documents are not in English, you MUST include an official English translation<\/strong>. Be sure to include all exam scores such as IB, AP, CAPE\/CSEC, IGCSE\/A levels, WAEC, Class X and Class XII Board examinations.<\/p>\n

If your scores (ex: WAEC) can be verified online but require a PIN or scratch card number, please include this with your transcript.<\/p>\n

How can transcripts be sent?<\/h2>\n

Institutions vary how they send official transcripts. We do accept electronic transcripts through verified servers (i.e. National Clearinghouse, eScript, Parchment, Credential Solutions, NJ Transfer). Transcripts received from a student will not be considered as official, so they will need to be requested from the Registrar\u2019s Office of the previous institution unless another process is in place for the transcript to be sent on the student\u2019s behalf. We do not request transcripts on a student\u2019s behalf, and they are not automatically sent once the courses conclude.<\/p>\n

Official transcripts may be sent electronically to msuadm@montclair.edu<\/strong> or via mail to:<\/p>\n

When are credits posted?<\/h2>\n

Students who have taken courses at the university level or who have taken secondary school examinations that might be eligible for advanced standing (i.e. IB, AP, A levels) may have transferable credit. Credits are posted to a student\u2019s degree audit once a deposit has been submitted. We encourage students to send their official transcripts and verified exam scores to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions as soon as possible so that first-year schedules can consider those credits when being created.<\/p>\n

If you are a transfer student from another international college or university, you will need to have your transcripts evaluated by a NACES<\/a> organization, such as WES.org<\/a>, and provide a course-by-course evaluation<\/strong> of your foreign transcript in order to receive a decision. This evaluation will help us assess all equivalent courses once you are accepted and we begin the credit evaluation process.<\/p>\n
